I THINK all the wiring is there. You just have to get the right switch and the mirrors. Be ready to pee yourself when you see what they cost.

The wiring for the lights and glass movement will transfer. You will have to add the wiring for the power fold. It's not rocket science though. You just have to add a fuse tap and run the wiring up under the dash. I got my upgrade set from 1A Auto. It was 400 and change a couple of years back. Install took me a couple of hours. If you give them a ring, they can help you decide which set will be best for your specific truck.

As Joe recommended check out Trail Ridge mirrors on www.1aauto.com. There are many positive reviews on the forum which persuaded me to purchase the tow mirrors. I just installed them about a month ago and am very happy with them. Make sure you check the features/ description because some are meant to be a direct replacement and some are meant to be upgrades. AM-AutoParts sells them cheaper on eBay with the only difference being a lifetime warranty vs a 10yr warranty. The companies I believe are related because they're located in the same town in MA and the descriptions and pictures of all the mirrors are identical. The description on eBay does not list Trail Ridge, but when I received my mirrors they were in Trail Ridge boxes.

Not sure what you mean by they no longer have these parts. They seem to have more of a selection now than when I ordered mine.

Are you saying you want to keep your current mirrors and change the insides of them? That is seldom done, people just replace with an entire new mirror. That's how you "upgrade".
